Sports cameras are becoming increasingly popular among travelers and have evolved from traditional digital cameras and smartphones. In recent years, a variety of products have appeared that require low power consumption, high image quality, and high frame rates, such as drones, panoramic cameras, and gimbal cameras, creating major challenges for conventional image processing SoCs. Since its founding, iCatch Technology has mainly focused on providing solutions for Japanese digital camera applications. Over the past 20 years, the company has witnessed the continued evolution and development of sports cameras and has demonstrated a deep understanding of the product experience and customer needs. From the video aspects of visibility (high dynamic range imaging), clarity (low-noise high-resolution imaging), and understanding (AI image recognition), to the audio aspects of audibility (real-time listening), clarity (noise canceling), and understanding. iCatch Technology advances wearable imaging applications such as AI voice recognition and has built a solid reputation for its products. With solutions tailored to product needs and advanced integration, the company facilitated rapid mass production for customers.
The V77 AI Imaging SoC integrates iCatch Technology's 8th generation dual-core AI image signal processor (AI-ISP) and supports low-latency AI noise reduction and low-light full-color technology. Featuring 120dB of high dynamic range processing, comparable to human vision, the V77 combines with local tone mapping (LTM) technology to support multiple camera inputs, real-time image distortion correction and stitching, and supports 3rd generation Equipped with high precision multi-axis. Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) Engine. Additionally, it features a 1.5 TOPS efficiency AI Neural Processor Unit (NPU) accelerator, complemented by a low-power smart H.265 codec for high-resolution streaming applications. In addition, the V77 supports up to 48 megapixel continuous shot at 10 frames/s, integrates an audio signal processor DSP that supports Audio 3A (AGC, ANS, AEC) algorithms, and a USB3.2 host/device dual-function interface. and SDIO 3.0. Expanded interface with speeds up to 208MHz greatly increases external data transfer speeds for USB, LTE dongles, Wi-Fi, and other applications. Advanced memory compression and access technologies and LPDDR4 support further enhance memory bandwidth for image processing and AI computing. Featuring industry-leading 8-bit Dual Transfer Rate (DTR) Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and Fast Boot technology, V77 doubles system cold boot speeds and ensures a seamless product experience that is instantly captured at boot time. To do.
As consumer demand for photography diversifies and product applications become increasingly specialized, iCatch Technology is committed to developing more efficient and intelligent imaging SoCs. The company aims to continuously enhance its intelligent imaging products and applications through continuous innovation and product research and development.
